Jos Buttler helps Rajasthan to remain unbeaten

On Saturday, the Rajasthan Royals defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru by six wickets thanks to an unbeaten century from Jos Butler, who eclipsed Virat Kohli's opening IPL century (6).

In his 100th IPL encounter, Butler got his century off 58 balls with a six when Rajasthan needed one to win their pursuit of 184, with five balls remaining in the Jaipur match.

After scoring 35 runs in his previous three games, Butler found his form. He and captain Sanju Samson put up 148 runs for the second wicket, with Samson making 69.

Butler spoke of his winning smash over the deep mid-wicket fence, "Had a little bit of luck, did not time it well, just got over the rope, delighted with the win."

No matter how long you've spent playing the game, those tensions and worries persist. The mind is a powerful tool; all you need to do is persevere, work hard, and sometimes good fortune will find you.

Earlier, Kohli scored an undefeated 113 to lead Bengaluru to 183-3 after reaching his ninth IPL century in 67 balls, the highest by any batter.

However, his efforts were in vain as the first-time winners, Rajasthan, secured the top spot in the 10-team table with four wins, keeping them undefeated throughout the season, ahead of second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders, who have won three games in a row.

After getting off to a poor start, Butler—who, along with Chris Gayle, now has six tons in the IPL—blasted Mayank Dagar for three fours and a six in a 20-run sixth over, setting up the chase.

After Buttler came in to replace Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was out on the second ball of the innings, Samson also assumed responsibility for the opposition's assault.

At their home stadium, Samson and Butler captivated the audience with their beautiful strokeplay, hitting 16 fours and five sixes between them.

After Samson left, Rajasthan faltered a little and lost two more wickets, but Butler and Shimron Hetmyer, who scored 11 off six, held strong.

After reaching the three-figure mark with a single off Nandre Burger, Kohli, 35, hit his first century of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League. He then removed his helmet and lifted his bat in front of the applauding audience.

"I want to keep the bowler guessing; I don't want to be too aggressive." They want me to leave quickly and hard," Kohli remarked.

It just takes maturity and experience. I prepare the game and play the conditions.

As he and captain Faf du Plessis put on an opening stand of 125 runs, with the latter hitting 44, to create the groundwork for the total, Kohli struck his third fifty-plus score of the season.

With a six off 39 balls, Kohli scored his half-century by smashing Riyan Parag below the belt.

Yuzvendra Chahal gave a catch to long-on and Du Plessis fell. To check the surge, Burger shortly bowled Glenn Maxwell for one.

Throughout his 72-ball innings, which included three fours in the last over, Kohli remained resolute and responded with four sixes.

With 316 runs in five games, the former captain of India solidified his place atop the batting table this year.

With Bengaluru, Kohli is still searching for his first IPL victory.

The Dravid effect in Nagarkoti’s road to recovery | Cricket News

JAIPUR: On the face of it, nothing has changed in the last two years for Kamlesh Nagarkoti. The pacer is as driven, as accurate and as lethal while playing in the IPL as he was two years back when he left everyone awestruck with his skill during the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand. As he once again impressed with his bowling and athleticism playing for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday night, the world was yet again reminded of the talent that became almost anonymous after the World Cup outing.

Having completely recovered from the long-standing back injury, the right-arm bowler took two wickets and a couple of stunning catches joining other youngsters in the team to help cruise KKR to 37-run victory. It was his second game of the season and the tournament.

What everyone sees today is a result of the support system of which former India captain Rahul Dravid was an important part, and came to Nagarkoti’s rescue while he was struggling to come to terms with life while treading the long road to recovery.

IPL 2020, Match 12: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals

India’s 2018 Under-19 World Cup-winning pace duo of Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti led a clinical bowling display to help Kolkata Knight Riders register a comprehensive 37-run win over Rajasthan Royals in their IPL match on Wednesday. (BCCI/IPL/ANI Photo)

Mavi and Nagarkoti, who battled injuries in the last two seasons, claimed two wickets apiece, while Varun Chakravarthy also got two to restrict the Royals to 137/9 in 20 overs while chasing a target of 175. (BCCI/IPL/ANI Photo)

This was after star Australian pacer Pat Cummins (1/19 from 3 overs) dismissed Steve Smith (3) as the Royals crumbled on a tricky run chase to suffer their first defeat after two successive wins. The margin of defeat would have been much bigger but for Tom Curran who remained unbeaten on 54 (from 36 balls) for a lost cause. (BCCI/IPL/ANI Photo)

Jos Buttler and Smith started the proceedings looking to hit every ball in a 12-run first over off Sunil Narine. In-form Smith survived a dropped catch off Cummins but perished caught-behind taking an inside edge. (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Mavi (2/20 from 4 overs) then ended the dream run of Sanju Samson (8), executing a perfect bouncer, and followed it up by getting the dangerous-looking Jos Buttler (21 off 16) dismissed after power-play to have the Royals top-three out for 39. (BCCI/IPL/ANI Photo)

It was all over for the Royals after mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy (2/25 from 4 overs) grabbed the wickets of their last match hero Rahul Tewatia (14) and Jofra Archer (6). (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Earlier, Archer (2/18) hit the deck hard and clocked the fastest delivery of the tournament (152.1 kph) in a fiery spell, taking two key wickets of KKR — in-form opener Shubman Gill (47 from 34 balls) and skipper Dinesh Karthik (1). (BCCI/IPL/PTI Photo)

Archer dismissed Gill three runs short of a second successive fifty. In his next over, Archer dismissed Karthik with a beauty, full of pace that went straight with a bit of inswing and the KKR skipper was forced to play, edging straight to Jos Buttler. (BCCI/IPL/ANI Photo)

Andre Russell was finally promoted up at No. 5 but the star Jamaican became victim of Ankit Rajpoot while trying to accelerate the scoring rate. Russell’s wicket meant KKR lost four wickets for 33 runs in the back-10 and with KKR playing with an extra bowler, it was left to Eoin Morgan (34 not out) to prop up the total. (BCCI/IPL/ANI Photo)

“It was Rahul Dravid who asked the BCCI to send Kamlesh to the UK for treatment. Moreover, every time they met while he was recuperating, Dravid used to motivate him, explaining how injuries are a part of a sportspersons’ life and one must learn from that experience and come out stronger,” said the 20-year-old fast bowler’s coach Surendra Rathore. Dravid who is currently the head of cricket at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) was the coach of the Under-19 team that won the World Cup.

Not only India’s batting legend, but the IPL franchise KKR too showed faith in the young knight from Jaipur by retaining him in the team despite his unavailability due to the injury. The Kolkata-based team had shelled out 3.2 crore on Nagarkoti in 2018, but made his IPL debut this season against Sunrisers Hyderabad on September 26. After completing his rehab and during the lockdown period, Nagarkoti worked extensively on his food position and batting. “There were no major changes I suggested to him in his bowling. His action was getting a bit misaligned so we got that corrected. His landing foot was slightly across and his non-bowling arm was coming from inside. We worked on those. On alternate days he used to work on his batting as well where I used to set a target for him and gave throwdowns,” Nagarkoti’s coach said.

IPL: Rahul stars as Punjab outplay Rajasthan

IANS

(00:02)

Indore, May 6 (IANS) Opener Lokesh Rahul's unbeaten 84 helped Kings XI Punjab beat Rajasthan Royals by six wickets in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match here on Sunday. The win takes Punjab to third spot with 12 points in nine matches while Rajasthan, who faced their third consecutive defeat, are tottering at the bottom of the table with six points in nine matches. With this loss, Rajasthan's chances of qualifying for the play-offs are over. Chasing 152/9, Rahul's 54 ball knock, comprising seven boundaries and three sixes, helped Punjab chased down the target in 18.4 overs. Right from the start, opener Rahul cleared his intentions, slamming bowlers all around the park. Chris Gayle (8) and Mayank Agarwal (2), however, could support Rahul at the other end but Karun Nair (31) contributed handsomely. Rahul and Nair forged 50-run partnership for the third wicket before Nair was dismissed by Anureet Singh in the 11th over. New batsman Axar Patel (4) also went back cheaply but Marcus Stoinis (23 not out) supported Rahul and rotated the strike. Soon, the duo managed to overhaul the target with more than one over remaining. For Rajasthan, K. Gowtham, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes, Anureet Singh scalped one wicket each. Earlier, teenaged Afghanistan off-spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman continued his impressive performance as his three wickets helped Kings XI Punjab restrict Rajasthan Royals to 152/9. After a 49-run third-wicket stand between Jos Buttler (51) and Sanju Samson (28), Mujeeb picked his English compatriot Ben Stokes (12) and Jofra Archer (0) in his second two-over spell to derail the Rajasthan innings. Mujeeb, 17, has now taken 12 wickets and is currently fifth in the list of most wicket-takers. The teenager not only took wickets but also proved to be economical right from his first two-over spell which put pressure on the Rajasthan top-order. After being asked to bat, Rajasthan rode on Buttler to get their runs, even if fellow opener D'Arcy Short (2) and Ajinkya Rahane (5) were dismissed with 35 on board for the western outfit in four overs. While captain and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin accounted for Short -- who was caught by Andrew Tye at midwicket -- Rahane's cut off a delivery from left-arm spinner Axar Patel saw Chris Gayle dive forward to pull off a stunning catch. Then Buttler and Samson put together an important partnership to lay a foundation for the flourish in the final 10 overs. But when all seemed to be going good, Samson pulled medium pacer Tye straight into the hands of Karun Nair in the fifth ball of the 11th over. Following the wicket, Rajasthan lost track as Mujeeb removed Stokes (12) and Buttler in the 13th and 15th overs respectively. Mujeeb struck for the second time in the 15th over to get rid of Jofra Archer (0) to reduce the visitors to 106/6. Stokes was dismissed by a relay catch between Mayank Aggarwal and Manoj Tiwary at the long off, while Rahul grabbed an outside edge of Buttler. Archer was foxed by a googly before the delivery rattled the stumps as Rajasthan innings was derailed. In the following over, paceman Ankit Rajpoot dismissed K. Gowtham (5), while Tye got rid of Rahul Tripathi (11) in the first delivery of the 18th over, with Rajasthan at 129/8. Later, Shreyas Gopal scored a brisk 24 off 16 deliveries to take Rajasthan cross the 150-run mark. Brief scores: Rajasthan Royals: 152/9 (Jos Buttler 51, Sanju Samson 28, Shreyas Gopal 24; Mujeeb Ur Rahman 3/27, Andrew Tye 2/24) vs Kings XI Punjab: 155/4 (Lokesh Rahul 84 not out; K. Gowtham 1/18)

Tewatia came out to bat at number four and he was struggling at one stage. However, in the 18th over bowled by Sheldon Cottrell, Tewatia hit five sixes to turn the tide. The left-handed batsman scored 53 as Rajasthan gained an improbable victory. Sanju Samson had played a knock of 74 runs against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and he followed it up with an 85-run knock against Kings XI Punjab. Skipper Smith made 50 against Punjab as well. For KXIP, Mayank Agarwal scored a ton, and it was his first hundred in the IPL. Agarwal made 106 runs from 50 balls with the help of 10 fours and 7 sixes to take the side’s total to 223/2. Agarwal and KL Rahul put together 183 runs for the first wicket and created the record for the highest opening partnership for KXIP in the IPL. This stand between both batsmen is also the second-highest opening partnership in the history of the tournament. Rajasthan has now won their opening two matches in the ongoing edition of the IPL. They will next lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders on September 30 while Kings XI Punjab will face Mumbai Indians on October 1.

SHARJAH: Rahul Tewatia struck five sixes in an over at the fag end of the match as Rajasthan Royals recorded the highest run chase in IPL history, beating Kings XI Punjab by four wickets in a high-scoring encounter on Sunday. Chasing a stiff 224 for a win, the Royals needed 51 runs from the last three overs and it seemed the fate of the match was already sealed but Tewatia turned the match on its head in a dramatic fashion, taking 30 runs from Sheldon Cottrell in the 18th over. Scorecard | Points Table In an unbelievable turn of events, Tewatia (53 off 31 balls and 7 sixes), who was struggling to connect the ball after being pushed up the order ahead of the likes of Robin Uthappa, suddenly shifted gears as he hoisted Cottrell for a series of sixes much to the amazement of his team-mates and opposition players. He was finally out in the last ball of the 19th over and after that Jofra Archer (13 not out) and Tom Curran (4 not out) took the Royals home.

Sanju Samson continued his dream run with a superb 42-ball 85, while captain Steve Smith also contributed a 27-ball 50 as RR continued their winning run.
